I wasn't going to comment, but....

I love just how many keystrokes are saved by doing that. Both of the `2's saved one keystroke (`to' in both cases -> `2'), the `1' saved two, and the `B' saved none (`be' -> shift-B). Then he gives two back by repeating the `!' twice. He saved as many keystrokes by eliding the definite article at the beginning of that first sentence, anyway.
